Income Tax FAQs

Your tax questions, answered simply.

Clear answers to what people ask us most. Figures reflect rules current as of FY 2025-26 — we confirm the latest position for your specific situation.

What is the last date to file an income tax return?

For individuals not requiring an audit, the usual due date is 31 July after the financial year; for those needing a tax audit it is generally 31 October. The government sometimes extends these dates, so confirm the current year's deadline before you rely on it.

Old tax regime vs new tax regime — which is better?

The new regime is now the default, with lower slab rates but very few deductions. The old regime usually wins if you claim large deductions like 80C, home-loan interest, HRA and 80D. We compute your tax both ways and file under whichever is lower.

Is income up to ₹12 lakh tax-free under the new regime?

Recent Budget changes raised the rebate so that, under the new regime, resident individuals with total income up to about ₹12 lakh effectively pay no income tax for FY 2025-26 (higher for salaried taxpayers after the standard deduction). Certain incomes and surcharge can change this, so we verify your numbers.

How can I save income tax legally in India?

Through deductions and exemptions such as 80C, 80D, NPS under 80CCD(1B), home-loan interest, HRA and capital-gains exemptions — and by picking the right regime. The key is planning before year-end, not scrambling at filing time.

Do NRIs have to file income tax returns in India?

Yes, if your India-sourced income exceeds the basic exemption limit, or to claim a refund of excess TDS on rent, interest or a property sale. Residential status and DTAA relief should be reviewed every year.

What is advance tax and who has to pay it?

Advance tax is income tax paid in instalments during the year, due when your annual tax after TDS exceeds ₹10,000. It applies to the self-employed, businesses, investors and salaried people with large other income; missing it attracts interest under 234B and 234C.

What happens if I miss the ITR filing deadline?

You can file a belated return, but with a late fee under Section 234F (up to ₹5,000) plus interest, and you lose some loss set-offs. Filing on time is always the cheaper option.

How is capital gains tax calculated on property and shares?

It depends on the holding period (short-term or long-term). After the 2024 changes, listed-equity long-term gains above ₹1.25 lakh are taxed at 12.5%, and long-term gains on most assets including property at 12.5%. The exact figure depends on dates, cost and exemptions, which we compute for you.

What are Form 26AS and AIS?

Form 26AS shows TDS, advance tax and refunds against your PAN; the Annual Information Statement (AIS) is a wider record of your reported financial transactions. Both must be reconciled with your return to avoid mismatch notices.

How do I respond to an income tax notice?

Identify the section and reason, gather supporting documents, and reply within the time limit on the e-filing portal. Scrutiny, mismatch and demand notices are best handled with professional help to avoid additions and penalties.

What is TDS and how do I claim a refund?

TDS is tax deducted at source on salary, interest, rent and professional fees. If it exceeds your final liability, you claim the excess back by filing your return; the refund is credited to your pre-validated bank account after processing.

Can I revise my income tax return after filing?

Yes — a revised return corrects errors or omissions within the time limit for that assessment year. In some cases an updated return (ITR-U) is also available on payment of additional tax.

What is presumptive taxation under 44AD and 44ADA?

These schemes let eligible small businesses (44AD) and professionals (44ADA) declare income at a fixed percentage of turnover or receipts — without detailed books or an audit — subject to turnover limits. It greatly simplifies compliance for many small taxpayers.

How long does an income tax refund take?

After filing and e-verifying, refunds are often processed within a few weeks, though detailed processing or unvalidated bank details can delay it. E-verifying immediately is the single best way to speed it up.

Which ITR form should I use?

It depends on your income sources — salary, house property, business, capital gains or foreign income. The wrong form makes a return defective, so we pick the right one for your profile.

Do I really need a CA to file my ITR?

A plain salary return can be self-filed, but capital gains, business income, NRI status, notices and regime choice are where a CA saves real money and prevents mistakes. We make sure you pay the least legitimate tax and file correctly the first time.
